My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 716 - 716: Someone Will Handle It

Although there wasn't much strength left, the speed at which they escaped was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace, leaving behind not even a breath of their presence.

Seeing this, Gu Simu sighed with disappointment but didn't pursue. This time, she didn't act impulsively. She was fully aware that they still had important matters to attend to.

At this moment, Zhongren stepped forward, his face somber, with a cold gleam in his eyes. He too was surprised by their arrival. He had thought these people would not show up. He had previously believed that there would be no danger, but now, it was clear that he had been mistaken. The threat was still present, and it was more terrifying than before. He could be certain that these people would not give up easily; the next time, they would likely use even more sinister methods.

"Uncle Zhongren, the trouble has been resolved, and we should leave now," Gu Simu said in a calm tone, raising her hand to stow the Hammer of Evergreen Pine.

At this point, she was not afraid. Gu Lan had been keeping an eye on this place, and even if there were dangers, Gu Lan would intervene at the first possible moment.

Zhongren nodded grimly. He had just taken a step forward when Gu Lan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Take them away safely. I'll handle the Dark Clan's problem," Gu Lan's voice echoed. A surge of power immediately flowed into Zhongren's body. Although he could block the Dark Clan's people, he was still concerned that other problems might arise here.

"This power will ensure your safety," Gu Lan continued.

Feeling the additional power within him, Zhongren's eyes lit up, and he smiled in excitement, bowing slightly into the air.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

Without saying anything more, Gu Lan made a gesture, and the image in front of Zhongren vanished. Gu Lan then turned and disappeared from his position.

In the sky, Gu Lan held the Hongmeng Sword, his body enveloped in golden light. The air around him crackled as the Hongmeng Sword flashed with cold light, and his spiritual energy surged.

His gaze fixed on the distant Dark Clan's territory. At that moment, Dark Master suddenly felt something was off. His face darkened, and with a single step, he charged into the air, his body cloaked in black energy.

As he watched, Gu Lan's cold face appeared in the distance. Gu Lan stopped in midair, and his own aura surged forth.

Upon seeing Gu Lan, Dark Master's expression darkened, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. However, he knew that he was no match for Gu Lan at the moment, especially with some ancient beings in the Dark Clan still recovering. Now was not the time to confront Gu Lan.

"I wonder why you, young master, have come to the Dark Clan's territory. I did let them enter previously," Dark Master said coldly.

Gu Lan's face remained indifferent, and his eyes shot a piercing glare at the Dark Master.

"Last time, you did let them in, but what did you do? Aren't you clear on that?" Gu Lan's voice was icy.

Hearing this, Dark Master's face grew darker, his eyes filled with unshakable killing intent.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. If you have no business here, please leave!" Dark Master snapped.

He had indeed sent strong warriors, but he hadn't expected Gu Lan to find out about it. His face grew colder, but Gu Lan remained unfazed, still staring with a chilling glare.

"Don't worry. Unless something unexpected happens, I won't take action against the Dark Clan. But if your people dare to interfere again, I can't guarantee what will happen," Gu Lan said coldly, his gaze unwavering.

He stood in the sky, unmoving, his aura still rising, as if daring Dark Master to challenge him.

Seeing this, Dark Master's face turned grim, and his eyes were filled with a murderous glint. This guy, Gu Lan, was completely unreasonable. This was the Dark Clan's territory, and yet Gu Lan seemed intent on remaining here, unfazed.

"Young master, this is the Dark Clan's land. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to stay here any longer," Dark Master said, his voice laced with menace. His previous tolerance had vanished. He would never allow Gu Lan to act with such arrogance on his land.

Seeing the aura emanating from Dark Master, Gu Lan sneered.

"What, do you want to fight me?" he asked mockingly.

This guy had already been defeated by him before. Why should he bother taking him seriously now? Not lifting a finger already counted as giving this man a chance.

"Our clan has gained many strong members recently. You're welcome to try!" Dark Master's cold voice rang out as he stepped back. Three figures emerged from the shadows.

In addition to the two guardians, there was also a burly man, whose power was comparable to the other two, and perhaps even stronger.

Seeing the power radiating from these individuals, Gu Lan's face darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Since Dark Master was so insistent on making things difficult, Gu Lan would no longer hold back. He unsheathed his sword with a swift motion, and a hundred sword lights instantly tore through the air.

It seemed like Gu Lan hadn't used much force, but in reality, the power behind this strike was immense. It was beyond what ordinary people could withstand.

The sword lights descended, and the surrounding space exploded. The three new figures from the Dark Clan were completely overwhelmed, unable to even mount a defense as they were devoured by the sword lights.

Although they immediately summoned black energy to counter, they were no match for Gu Lan's overwhelming power. His strike shattered their defenses effortlessly.

The explosion echoed through the air as the surrounding space fractured, and the three Dark Clan members found themselves enveloped in darkness.

Dark Master and the others furrowed their brows. Their faces were grim as they realized the enormity of Gu Lan's power. It was far beyond what they had expected.

Gu Lan looked at them with a cold smile and didn't make another move. There was no need to. The lesson had already been delivered.

He stared down at the group and said with an emotionless expression, "I'm giving you a chance to survive. Don't make me regret it. And remember, the Bright Clan is always watching."

After leaving those words, he leaped into the sky, a barrier forming around him. He wouldn't leave yet; he wanted to see how these people would handle the situation.

Dark Master's expression was dark, his eyes filled with an ominous gleam. Although he was still dissatisfied with Gu Lan, he didn't dare act rashly. The three guardians couldn't even block Gu Lan's attack, and the Bright Clan's watchful eyes were always a threat.

"This debt will be repaid, but not today," Dark Master muttered through gritted teeth. Though his words were harsh, his retreat was swift.

As they disappeared, Gu Lan chuckled coldly and cast his gaze far into the distance, locking the entire Dark Clan under his watchful eyes.
